Expressing Peace. Listing Peace. 80.
Listing peace is easy. Lists attract the human mind which mostly and most often operates in the linear. Making lists appeals to the desire to feel in control of what occurs in our lives.
I love the blog Marc and Angel Hack Life because virtually every post is a list. 2 Secret Tricks of Highly Product People; 18 Great Reminders When You’re Having a Bad Day; 27 Stressful Things You Tolerate Too Often; 12 Promises You Should Make to Yourself and Keep Forever…..
In many ways, these Expressing Peace posts are my list built from my lists. Certainly, these posts expand my list(s) every day.
I encourage you to make your own list(s) around your peace/Peace. Your list may be of what brings you peace, how Peace lets you feel, what reminds you of peace, ways you see peace and Peace connected. Your list is your list.
Believe me, listing peace is easy. Just let yourself write it without any editing. I’ll show you. I’m composing an original list of what sparks my consciousness of peace and Peace. Right now. Right here. I’m listing peace.

I didn’t hurry. I wrote that list in less than 5 minutes. Speed isn’t the object and we’re not having a race. I enjoy that listing my consciousness of the peace I experience brings another 25 to mind, another 50, another….
I encourage you to list your peace, your Peace in whatever way you wish. And then consider sharing it with someone else, and invite them to share their list with you.
Supplier of All Peace,
the chance to list so many ways I find peace,
so many ways I am led to peace,
so many ways you deliver peace to me
are infinite reasons to thank you.
More than that, they are infinite ways
to know you
to know your Presence
to know our Oneness
to know that peace on earth flows from Peace that knows
no limits.
Peace is everywhere for Peace is every “where”
as it is everyone and everything.
Peace is and I can see it in a sunset and in three cats eating
and in All That Is.
I thank you, GOD.
And so it is. Amen. Amen.
